Preface

We must have all read and studied about Adolf Hitler who is perhaps one of the most hated men in the world. But when we go on and on about his evil ways, we never stop and think about his good side. Hitler is an enigma. He supported democracy and was not at all prejudiced against the Jews. But somewhere down the line, something changed and made him, compelled him to fight and fight hard and turn the tables of fortune towards Germany. He often said “The doom of a nation can be averted only by a storm of flowing passion, but only those who are passionate themselves can arouse passion in others”. And thus to prevent the doom of Germany, Hitler became what he was. There is no justifying killing millions of Jews in the name of race. There is no justifying the world war, the bloodiest war in the history of mankind, which Hitler started. But then there is no justifying human ignorance. Which brings to the question, how many of us have bothered to look at Hitler’s good side? I bet none of us. So now we present Hitler’s untold story, a story where he was a hero to millions of Germans.

ADOLF TAKES OVER A BANKRUPT STATE
On taking up office as Chancellor of Germany, Adolf Hitler was determined to address the economic catastrophe and coupled problems of unemployment and crime by any means and as soon as possible. He summoned the Reichsbank President, Dr. Hans Luther to his office. Luther was a frugal and practical man. Since the total remaining State Funds equaled only 150 million marks, he offered Adolf no assistance or advice. Adolf decided that Luther was not the man for the job
When Adolf took office in 1933, Germany was the country with the bleakest future in Europe. Possibly no country in the world had worse prospects. Germany was technically bankrupt with no likelihood of rehabilitation.
In such a scenario, Hitler introduced the Mefo bonds. Mefo Bonds, when presented to the Reichsbank could be converted into cash. Schacht designed the bonds to be short term so that there would be ready public acceptance of the bonds, which paid an interest rate of four percent, an acceptable figure at that time, and normal banknotes hidden under the mattress paid no interest at all! The public eagerly accepted the bonds and Adolf had his billions with which to create jobs without causing inflation. In the next four years the public subscribed to over 12 Billion marks worth of Mefo Bonds.The public eagerly accepted the bonds and Adolf had his billions with which he could create jobs without causing inflation.
By the end of Adolf Hitler's first year in office unemployment had fallen from 6,000,000 to 3,374,000. An unprecedented 2,627,000 jobs had been created at a time when the rest of the world was in deep economic recession
• Five years of National Socialist industrial and economic activity show that: The manufacture of diesel oil has increased by 66%
• The production of oil fuel has increased by 80%
• The production of artificial silk has increased by 100%
• The production of Kerosene has increased by 110%
• The production of steel has increased by 167%
• The production of lubricating oil has increased by 190%

CANCER PREVENTION STRATEGY AND PUBLIC HEALTH CAMPAIGN INITIATED BY HITLER

Perhaps because his mother died from cancer, Adolf developed a deep interest in health related issues - particularly cancer.
Ground-breaking research on diseases was done in Germany, partly with private funding from Adolf Hitler who commissioned a study at the University of Jena to determine whether there was a link between lung cancer and smoking. Research results proved that there was such a link and this led to the first public anti-smoking campaign which was vigorously promoted by Adolf.
The first program in the world to encourage women to perform breast self-examination as an aid to detect breast cancer in its earlier stages was also launched in Germany with Adolf's active encouragement and approval. His support for reform and modernization in the medical field was viewed by the medical profession in such a positive light that most medical practitioners joined the Nazi party. With profits from his best-selling book "Mein Kampf", he donated 100,000 Marks to cancer research he personally commissioned at the University of Jena
With scientific proof to support his initiatives, Adolf made laws forbidding smoking in public places. He started a campaign to tell people how dangerous smoking is and tobacco use fell in Germany. This was the first official anti-smoking campaign in the world.
- Smoking was banned in the offices of the Air Force, postal services.
- Smoking was banned by uniformed police
- Restaurants and cafes were prohibited from selling cigarettes to women
- Tobacco coupons were denied to pregnant women.
- It was illegal for anyone under 18 to smoke in public
- Advertisements for tobacco products were strictly regulated
Adolf said: "Before going into retirement, I shall order that all the cigarette packets on sale in Europe should have on the label, in letters of fire, the slogan: 'Danger, tobacco smoke kills; danger: Cancer.'" During the war tobacco rations were distributed to German soldiers. Adolf ordered that it be given in a manner that would dissuade soldiers from smoking. Smokers were given six cigarettes per man per day, but non-smokers got chocolate or extra food. Women in the Wehrmacht were not allowed to smoke at all.
ANIMAL ANTI-CRUELTY LAWS
Adolf, friend to Animals
Germany was the first country in the world to promulgate laws protecting animals from uncontrolled vivisection and other cruelty. In 1934 Berlin hosted an international conference on animal protection. The motto draped over the speaker's podium stated:"Entire epochs of love will be needed to repay animals for their value and service" The abolition of vivisection or experimentation on animals was promoted in 1933-1935. This law declared illegal the Jewish kosher ritual in which an animal's throat is slit and left to slowly and painfully die. Adolf and his government considered this practice a barbaric product of ignorance. In 1936 the German Society for Animal Psychology was established, and in 1938 "Animal Protection" was introduced as a subject for German public schools and universities."
LAWS ON ANIMAL PROTECTION
• It is forbidden to unnecessarily torment or roughly mishandle an animal.
• It is forbidden to kill an animal on a farm for fur otherwise than with anesthesia or in a way that is, in any case, painless;
• The experiments may only be carried out by someone who has previously received scientific education , and when every pain is avoided in so far as that is compatible with the goal of the experiment.
Many Western countries later modeled their Animal Anti-cruelty laws after the German National Socialist laws, which were years ahead of their time.

TRANSPORTATION
Hitler used to describe how the city folk returned from their Sunday outings in overflowing trains, getting their buttons torn off, their hats crushed, their good mood ruined and every benefit of the relaxation wasted; how different it would be if the city workers could afford their own cars to go on real Sunday outings"
- Schwerin von Krosigk
While in prison, Adolf dreamt of a network of highways spanning the length and breadth of the country. He spoke of a small car that everyday people could afford, which would travel on these roads and open the country to German people.
"It should have the shape of a June bug", Adolf said.Nature itself suggested the car's aerodynamic line.
That is why the car was later called a "Beetle"
Soon after taking office as German Chancellor, Adolf announced plans to build cheap cars for German families and offered them on low payments.
In those days no workers had cars because they were much too expensive and the roads were primitive and congested. The "Volkswagen" would eventually cost only one-tenth as much as the normal automobile of those times. Because of this many Germans could for the first time explore their own country.
The spinoffs in industry would become one of Germany's most important industries and sources of employment.

Autobahn
The first freeways in the world were built in Germany. They were conceived by a poor struggling artist called Adolf Hitler. The books he read educated him on many aspects of city and road planning, and he had a knack to simplify complex problems, and a gift to keep ideas in harmony with nature. His dreams of wide safe beautiful roads led him to study bridges and architecture. He would later personally authorize bridge designs, and sometimes launch competitions where the best design and beauty would earn money and prestige.
The freeways would be 24 meters in width, and be in harmony with the landscape. Local natural rock would be used in preference, to enhance the beautiful roads that came together and diverged like great works of art.
Even service stations and restaurants were planned beforehand, blending in with local architecture and in harmony with the surroundings.
The Autobahn project was also designed to provide work for the unemployed. Normal roads were usually paved with bitumen or asphalt which Germany had to import, but Germany had no foreign exchange at all, so it invented roads paved with concrete slabs, with all material available in Germany.
The freeways were toll-free. Adolf would not penalize the public for travelling. Hundreds of new businesses sprang up along the 2,000km of freeway that were completed before the war. The new roads eliminated congestion on old roads and generated tax revenues from new businesses.
Tourism and commerce flourished as never before.
Cockpit Recorder
Adolf conceived the "cockpit recorder" after a friend died in an air crash. He ordered that important aircraft should be fitted with a magnetic-wire recording device so that the cause of a crash could be determined.

Hitler and the Nobel Peace Prize
"Hitler ought to have the peace prize!"
The renowned Jewish author and Nobel Prize winner, Gertrude Stein, led the campaign that got Adolf Hitler nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1938.
"I say that Hitler ought to have the peace prize, because he is removing all the elements of contest and of struggle from Germany. By driving out the Jews and the democratic and Left element, he is driving out everything that conduces to activity. That means peace..."
This was disclosed by Gustav Hendrikksen, a former member of the Nobel committee, in Nativ, a political magazine published in Israel. (Reports about this appeared in the New York Jewish community weekly Forward, Feb. 2, June 14, and Oct. 25, 1996.)
Hendrikksen recalled: "...Gertrude Stein... turned to a number of intellectuals--no, not all of them Jews--who signed an appeal urging the Nobel prize committee to give Hitler the Nobel peace prize. The committee rejected this proposal politely but firmly..."
In 1939 Adolf Hitler was once again nominated for the Nobel peace prize by E.G.C. Brandt, Member of the Swedish parliament. He was subsequently pressurized to withdraw this nomination.
We have to understand Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today.' But he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good. And Even though his bad outweighs his good, one cannot deny the fact his very existence changed the way world was. Maybe the world was bleak and weary but later, like a phoenix, it rose once again from the ashes of the war, magnificent and most of all calm and peaceful.
